GLINTING (IRE) (Galileo {Ire}) is Ballydoyle's first European runner on an important day for the stable's juveniles and she is a significant one as an unraced full-sister to the promoted and then demoted G1 St Leger winner Bondi Beach (Ire) and to the G2 Great Voltigeur S. runner-up Constantinople (Ire). She will have to be smart to deal with The Aga Khan's Eylara (Ire) (Gleneagles%20(Ire)#tot">Gleneagles {Ire}), a Dermot Weld-trained Gowran Park runner-up who is a half-sister to the multiple group winner and G1 Irish and Yorkshire Oaks and G1 Hong Kong Vase-placed Eziyra (Ire) (Teofilo {Ire}).
